Charles I is willing to help Gustav II Adolf but has no resources. Buckingham is not serious. The ambassadors from Christian IV, Gábor Bethlen and the Margrave of Baden have not achieved much. Charles has promised to transfer 6, 000 troops to Christian IV from the Netherlands. The Dutch are at a loss for what to do. – The conflict with Louis XIII has led to a loss of prestige for Charles, who has had to let the Catholics whom he banned from England return. – Buckingham has promised to send help to Louis XIII in his conflict with La Rochelle. – Spens has discussed the market at Elbing with the English merchants, who are willing to stay there if their trade is guaranteed. Their governor, William Cockin, is dead, and no decisions will be taken until his successor is chosen. – For an analysis of the political situation in England, Spens refers AO to Rusdorf's letter to Camerarius. Spens is very pessimistic about English politics. He asks AO to see that Rusdorf gets his pay.
